The year 2010 will more than likely see the end of the CLK, replaced by an E-Class based coupe and convertible. Mercedes wants to better compete against the likes of the Audi A5 and feels that an E-Class Coupe is just the ticket. Naturally, the new coupe will start off with a higher price tag. I've always had a secret crush on the CLK, with its pillarless side windows and eye catching interior (especially in white). I also really like the A5, so I'm looking forward to the next coupe. However, I'm quite worried about the leaked images of the next E-Class. I don't find it very appealing at all.

Never been much a fan of the CLK. Always thought they were bloated over priced Sebring Convert's. At least here in LA it seemed every time you looked at these cars in traffic you'd only see bleached blonde females with cosmetic surgery implants behind the wheel. It's the ladies who do lunch vehicle of choice. But then again that is just here in LA.
Yeah, that's why I've kept my interest a secret. I feel much better driving around in the loaner G8 GT. But, I really do like the pillarless look and the car does have some nice lines. Not a fan of the convertible though. I'd probably go with an Audi S5 if I were to buy anything in the luxury German coupe market.
